22 CHRISTCHURCH MAIL, MAY 1, 2014 per annum. So, what makes chicken so popular? Besides being consistently reasonably priced, chicken is low in fat, high in protein, it tastes great, and is quick and easy to prepare. Find me someone who doesn’t love a roast chicken dinner and they are most probably vegetarian. The mild flavour of chicken, paired with its relatively tender meat, makes it an exceptionally versatile product to cook with. Low-fat breast is great flash-fried, baked and poached; while the drumsticks and thighs lend themselves to slower cooking methods, making them perfect for braising or popping into the slow cooker. I love the rich sweet and sour flavours of this traditional Thai curry. Vibrant in colour, I load it with plenty of fresh vegetables to ensure it is full of goodness. While this recipe calls for a visit to the Asian grocer, once you have stocked up, you will make it time and time again. Serves 4. ■ Massoman curry ❚ 2 Tbsp coconut oil ❚ 1 onion, finely sliced ❚ 4 cloves garlic, crushed ❚ 3cm piece ginger, crushed ❚ 1 ⁄2 tsp chilli flakes ❚ 1 stalk lemongrass, minced – available frozen from an Asian grocer ❚ 3 bay leaves ❚ 1 tsp turmeric ❚ 1 tsp ground coriander ❚ 1 tsp whole cumin seed ❚ 1 ⁄2 tsp pepper ❚ Pinch ground cardamon ❚ 1 ⁄4 ⁄2 cup raw cashews, chopped ❚ 1 Tbsp tamarind paste or 1 Tbsp lime juice ❚ 1 cup chicken stock ❚ 1 x 400ml can coconut milk ❚ 4 Tbsp fish sauce ❚ 2 Tbsp brown sugar ❚ 1 medium potato, peeled, diced ❚ 600g chicken breast or thigh, diced ❚ 1 tomato, chopped ❚ 1 ⁄2 head broccoli florets ❚ 100g baby green beans, cut in half length-ways pan.

Add the tomato, broccoli and green beans, and allow to cook for five minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are cooked, but still vibrantly green. Check the seasoning.
